Description
I received a large postcard in the mail, offering a FREE 3, 5, or 7 night cruise for 2 adults. It said we'd be responsible for any taxes and port fees, as well as any upgrades or additional people. It also said that complimentary airfare would be provided from most International airports for up to 2 people. The offer explicitly said, "This is not a Timeshare or Real Estate solicitation". Suspecting this was a scam, I looked it up online, doing a general search describing the offer. I found several reviews claiming it is in fact, a scam. One poster said that while there was no high pressure sales tactics, it was indeed a Timeshare pitch that lasted about an hour. They said that they declined, but did actually receive the $100 dining gift card. However, it appears there was NEVER any cruise coming for those who declined the Timeshare. I'd say that those factors would rate this offer as a 100% SCAM, particularly since the postcard claims that it's not a Timeshare solicitation, when in fact, it is!
